1 INTRODUCTION
The meaning of safety is ‘Freedom from unacceptable risks’ or ‘Freedom from danger’. Safety in all
construction activities is a prime requisite, but is often neglected, ignored on work sites. With the
enormous growth of construction industry and the advancement of ‘Construction Technology’ the
need for proper attention to Safety aspects has become essential for human, social, economic and
other considerations. The complex techniques with wide range of construction and other activities
have lead to new challenges in Safety.
The content aims is to explain the ways and means to create a safe and healthy work environment at
our construction project sites for the protection of all personnel involved in the project construction
activities from associated risks.
The EHS plan is structured for effective implementation of EHS standards as per the Factories Act
1948, Amendment act 1987, Building and Other Construction Workers Act ‐1996 (BOCW Act‐1996) and
other relevant State and central Acts of Govt., of India.
The purpose of the EHS Plan is to make all our employees, contractors, consultants, workmen aware of
minimum safety standards to be adhered in the process of execution of construction activities for the
noble cause of accident prevention and to protect all from associated risks.
The overall objective of the plan is to ensure effective implementation of Company standards and
comply with all statutory provisions related to Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) and also to meet
client’s specific EHS requirements
Proper precautions based on risk assessments should be taken to improve Safety on construction sites
to mitigate and minimize loss of limb, life, suffering and damage resulting from preventable incidents /
accidents.
CONTRACTUAL RESPONSIBILITES & MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT:
It is the prime responsibility of project management to prevent / control all risks involved in the
process of project construction. All contractors/Sub‐contractors and their staff and workmen must co‐
operate in implementation of EHS rules and regulations mentioned in EHS plan without any excuse in
the interest of safe guarding Environment health and safety at protect site. It is of contractual
responsibility of all concerned to maintain client’s reputation and to take care of workers safety &

Excavation is the essential element of the construction process for making foundations, drainage work
and site re‐grading of all kinds.
In carrying out excavations the soil condition can vary widely, often in short distances. No soil
whatever its nature can be relied upon to support its own weight for any length of time. Even a small
fall of earth is capable of inflicting serious injury even if it does not kill. Unless and until the excavation
is battered, the sides need supporting to prevent the possibility of collapse.
The following safety measures are to be ensured before and during excavation.

15. GENERAL
15.1‐EHS Trainings:
15.1.2‐EHS induction:
It is mandatory to provide Induction training to each and every person working inside the project
irrespective of cadre and trade.
During induction training the project EHS rules and regulations would be highlighted and Dos and
Don’ts of EHS would be explained and made them understood the general risks and measures to be
taken by each and every one.
15.1.2‐.Periodical training programmes:
Specific training programmes for the following activities will also be organized to promote EHS
education for respective trades/ supervisors/ technicians
1. Safety in Welding and gas cutting operation
Issue Date: December, 2008 Rev: 2
Page 36 of 105
2. Working at height (Staging/ladders 0E
3. Safety in operation of Power and hand tools
4. Fire hazards and control
5. First Aid
6. Electrical safety
7. Personal protective Equipment
All the above specific trainings would be organized and scheduled on an average one programme in
a month
15.2‐Hazard Identification & Control Measures
The Hazard identification is basic requirement for the Accident Prevention.
The techniques which are include Inspections, Audits and Risk assessment etc.
15.2.1‐EHS inspections:
The Site safety inspection during work by EHS Coordinator and also by project coordinators in the site
play a key role in eliminating unsafe conditions and unsafe acts/unsafe practices by the workmen. Any
EHS violations during inspection should be immediately brought to the notice of concerned site in
charge for immediate corrective measures to ensure safe working. Until and unless prevailed unsafe
condition or deviation is corrected the work activity should not be allowed to continue.
EHS inspection checks (General) is to be kept in mind during inspection for hazard identification is in
Annexure
15.2.2‐EHS audits:
Apart from regular site inspection by EHS coordinator, periodical EHS Audit will be done by Regional
EHS Coordinator or Project EHS personnel to assess the EHS performance and to suggest for
improvement.
The techniques applied for the safety inspection/Audit can be as follows.
Preparation
‐ Select areas of greatest hazard or activity to audit
‐ Use toolbox talks to set objective / standards for the workforce
‐ Set a good personal example.
Observations
‐ Take time to watch an activity or situation.
‐ Concentrate on people.
‐ Look for unsafe acts, violation of safety rules or unsafe conditions.
‐ Recognize good as well as bad practices.
Discussion
‐ Discuss with the workforce how the job could be done more safely
‐ Encourage them to identify hazards & to suggest improvements
‐ Ensure that all unsafe acts & conditions are discussed
‐ Honour the good safety practices.
Follow – up
‐ Check at random for repetition of safety violations
‐ Give formal written warnings for repeated violations by individuals
‐ Contractor / Subcontractors auditors are to report their findings on a weekly basis to
principal client together with action.
Issue Date: December, 2008 Rev: 2
Page 37 of 105
15.2.3‐Risk assessment:
Risk Assessment is an ongoing activity throughout the life of the project. It is used in developing the
Safe Work Method Statement – SWMS (or also called Job Safety Analysis).
The SWMS requires the work method to be presented in a logical sequence. The hazards / dangers
associated with each process are to be identified and person who is responsible to take remedial
measures shall be specified for controlling these hazards.
Safe work method statements must include the following provisions as a minimum.
• The sequence of activities or work tasks to be carried out (ie. Job steps involved in doing the
work)
• Identification & assessment of the risk arising from those activities or tasks in relation to the
site and any person likely to be affected by them (ie. Identify & assess potential hazards
associated with each job step).
• The way(s) in which the identified risks will be reduced to an acceptable level ie. The
controls that will be put in place to eliminate or minimize the potential hazards identified).
• The management system used to monitor compliance with the agreed safe system of work.
• The way in which the progress of the work will be reviewed for the purpose of EHS in order
that any necessary modifications and improvements to the system of work can be identified
and introduced.
15.3‐Safe Work Permits System:
A Work permit system is used to ensure safe working by eliminating possible associated high risks
such as blasting, excavation, working at height, hot works(welding, gas cutting),confined space
,working isolated areas ,electrical shock, chemical exposure, fire hazard during the process of work.
Safe work Permit is required to be obtained for the following works
1. Blasting works
2. Excavation
3. Hot work (welding and gas cutting operations) where the risk of fire is involved
4. Height work ( for the works above 2mts height )
5. Confined space
6. Electrical works (when working on over head line/ transformers or major electrical works )
7. Any Hazardous nature of job in isolated areas where high risk is prevailed
Work permit should be obtained before starting of the activity by the designated issuing authority of
the Project after inspection and ensuring recommended safety measures given by EHS Coordinators.
